Wasteland

You want love, oh you want ceremony
You want, you want education
You want a map, a map to show you where you're going,
it's not far in your imagination
I want to go to that place
To that place, oh to that mirror sea
To that place to fall into the ocean
And you fall, fall in love with everything
And you sleep, sleep with your eyes open
I want to go to that place
Your heart is in the quicksand
The stars are going out
Your heaven is a wasteland
You walk into the night
A new thought, something in the back of your mind
A new though, something doesn't feel right
Wake up, oh it was a trick of the light
or a dream, dreams are very lifelike
I want to go to that place
Your heart is in the quicksand
The stars are going out
Your heaven is a wasteland
You walk into the night
And do you know, do you know now
the stars are going out
And do you know, do you know now
You walk into the night
I want to go to that place

Written in Red
03:25

This cold war goes on and on
A heart, a bomb
We build a wall
through every conversation
Words divide
I'm on your side
It's all so serious
you said it would be easy
Promises written in red
they stay true to the end
When I'm going out of my head
I remember you said
You don't have to fear
You don't have to fear
I'm already here
Oh I think the world of you
so far removed
and me, a satellite,
orbiting around
You love to win
Breathe out, breathe in
It's all or nothing
you make it look so easy
Promises written in red
they stay true to the end
When I'm going out of my head
I remember you said
You don't have to fear
You don't have to fear
I'm already here
I don't want to say
you know what they say
I don't want to say
You know what they say darling
Promises written in red
they stay true to the end
When I'm going out of my head
I remember you said
You don't have to fear
You don't have to fear
I'm already here

The Gold Rush
04:12
|
|||
|
Well I know one thing, the house always wins
Everything you love and everything that you touch
they will use it up, it's never enough
You can spend your life just following the gold rush
You think you know someone so well
but you don't even know yourself
You think that's you're problem, I can't tell
Put your faith in something else
Now we're here in the valley looking for a ghost
If there's anything left I think they were mistaken
And all their gifts they look like gold
Everything these days is pale imitation
You think you know someone so well
but you don't even know yourself
You think that's you're problem, I can't tell you
Put your faith in something else
Oh, the world is in the palm of your hand
Oh, don't let it slip through your fingers
If you lost you heart, then it won't be long
And you bet your money, then your money is gone
Cos the West was won but now it's all done
So near, so far, so happy you could join us
You think you know someone so well
but you don't even know yourself
You think that's you're problem, I can't tell you
Put your faith in something else
Oh, the world is in the palm of your hand
Oh, don't let it slip through your fingers
Oh, the world is in the palm of your hand
Oh, don't let it slip through your fingers
You do it false, you get it wrong
You do it all false and then you get it all wrong
You think that you know someone so well

Let Me Go
03:37
|
|||
|
Sitting here talking
talking 'bout your ideas
I could just say it
I wish I could say it
Oh I was just thinking
thinking 'bout the wrong way
to get your attention
I wish I could say it
Oh let me go
Read it in your starsign
you tend to overthink things
Sick of being lovesick?
So do something about it
Oh I am just a prisoner
locked inside your ribcage
stepping to your heartbeat
I wish I could say it
Oh let me go
I didn't want to end it like this
and I don't want a share in your money
I didn't want to end it like this
and I don't want a share in your money
Oh let me go

After School
03:48
|
|||
|
It never ends
I'm running, I'm running
And you cannot depend
in light of all this
Around again
I'm running, I'm running
So tell me where it stands
in light of all this
Up on a wire
Falling down
The school bell rings
over and over again
And every little thing
comes back to haunt me
I'm learning
everything new again
If I could only see
now what I knew then
Up on a wire
Falling down
It never ends
I'm running, I'm running
And you cannot depend
in light of all this
In light of all this

On My Record Player
03:33

Well you can't trust your heart and you can't trust your senses
so you go round again once more for luck
And when you go round where's the start, where's the ending?
You give up, you give up, you throw your hands up
All I can say is defined
by the letters, the words and the size of the paper
Listening to little lies
looking for answers on my record player
Is there a black hole in your eye?
Cos I'm afraid I'm falling in this time
Is there life on the other side?
I am afraid I'm running out of time
You think you want freedom, can you handle freedom?
You sleepwalk through daytime and stay up all night
Here are the answers, you've already seen them
Remember when you dream, you dream of real life
All I can say is decided
by the letters, the words and the size of the paper
Listening to little lies
looking for answers on my record player
Is there a black hole in your eye?
Cos I'm afraid I'm falling in this time
Is there life on the other side?
I am afraid I'm running out of time
Well you can't trust your heart and you can't trust your senses
so you go round again once more for luck
And when you go round where's the start, where's the ending?
You give up, you give up, you throw your hands up

Endless Summer
03:27

|
Up, down, all around
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah
Come down school is out
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah
All the nights when you come undone
You said, hold the fear cos you wanna have fun
And I said uptown, hear that sound
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah
The world belongs to us tonight
I'll meet you on the road outside
This town bring it down
All fed up of the rain and thunder
Yeah
Time to turn it round
Oh, or we're going under
Yeah
All the nights we were having fun
Remember, oh the feeling, well it's been too long
So I said somehow make it now
All I want in an endless summer
Yeah
The world belongs to us tonight
I'll meet you on the road outside
This is the night for it
And I will die trying to prove it
The circumstances fit
And I will die trying to prove it
This is the night for it
And I will try, try to prove it
The circumstances fit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Honest
03:08
|

|
Misery's no way to go
when you're out there on your own
I'll be honest with you
if you're honest with me too
And what you gonna have to show
if you're always losing hope?
It's never perfect or true
I'll be honest with you too
I don't wanna bring you down
but I think I'm losing count
of the times we've been through this
if I'm honest with you
You could spend your life in a daydream
thinking how you're gonna be something
but you spend your day doing nothing
I'll be honest with you
And you think you're gonna be something
but you spend your life in a daydream
and you spend day doing nothing
I'll be honest with you too
I'll be honest with you too

Memories of Earth
03:58
|
|||
|
Oh tell me when the world is over
we survive, never growing any older
Here in space there is nothing to consider
Day or night, you can never tell the difference
You can never tell how much time
you can only choose what you leave behind
Memories of Earth make you cry
You don't have to waste, waste your time out here
Leaving kisses far behind you
Stargazing til a melody reminds you
Back at home, guess maybe you left your heart there
Without heart you are really going nowhere
You can never tell how much time
you can only choose what you leave behind
Memories of Earth make you cry
You don't have to waste, waste your time out here
I remember you saying you're lost and you'll never get back again
I remember you saying you're lost and you'll never get back again

Your Way

If you say, you could have it all your way
You could have it all your way
You could have it all your way
You don't have to say at all
You don't have to say it
